I didn't think 7 was past middle age for a 60-lb

7 is the age where vets like to do a baseline bloodwork. The BEGINNING
of becoming a senior. That said, I know some very OLD 7 year olds and
some extremely young 7 year olds. Kind of like people, there are a lot
of factors that determine "true age".
